A .dtd show constant error, while the line seems okey when inserted into another file

I compiled a .dtd for my recent project, but a line shows constant error:

It says I missed an ')' from this line, while if I insert this code another .dtd, everything is alright. I don't know if you guys know how to help me, but I really appreciate if you try.

Solution

It's most likely one or more parameter entities aren't declared in your DTD.

The reason I believe this is if I take the element declaration in your question and strip out all of the % and ; to make those parameter entity references element names, and I create element declarations for them (just for testing), I don't get any validation errors (used Xerces for testing). This rules out an issue with parens.

For example, your DTD has %model.frontPart;. Your DTD would also need to have a declaration like:

<!ENTITY % model.frontPart "foo">

With foo being whatever the entity value is.

There needs to be an entity declaration for all of the parameter entity references in your example:

%model.divBottom;
%model.divLike;
%model.frontPart;
%model.global;
%model.pLike.front;
%model.pLike;

Compare the DTD you get the error in against the DTD you don't get the error in; does one have all of the entity declarations while one doesn't?

If this is not the case, please update your question with more information. (The entire DTD would be ideal.)
